To fit into the faster and faster pace of urban life, and people's constantly changing
lifestyle, nowadays, an outstanding design must be functional and practical, and it also
needs to fit into people's future lifestyle and their aesthetic demands. "How is a trend
started? What kind of product design will fit into the future market?" - these are the
topics that the global design industry constantly cares for. Many world-renowned
design centers regularly publish annual design trends in various fields, but are these
trends fitting the Chinese consumer market? After analysis of the global trends, we must
follow-up with deep and through exploration of the local market, effectively analyze
each consumer segmentation, and confidently propose China's future design trends -
these are the common demands across industries, and will lead the development of
China's design field.
城市生活节奏加快、国人生活方式日新月异，如今的优秀设计丌仅要具备
产品使用的功能性，更要符合未来人群的生活方式和潜在审美需求。“潮
流趋势因何而起？怂样的产品设计是符合未来的市场？”——是全球设计
界所关心的话题。丐界多个知名设计中心每年定期发布各领域的设计趋势，
但它们是否适合中国的市场？在剖析国际潮流之后，再真正地探索中国市
场、切实地分析中国人群、自信地提出中国的未来设计趋势，丌仅是出于
行业内的需要，更是希望来引领国内设计的发展。

To begin with 2015-2016 trend forecasting, it is built based on researches of the 2013
social formation, consumption trends, and design expert interviews. With these
researches and studies, we have prepared Chinese lifestyle forecasting and four
different design macro trends. In each macro trend, we have provided corresponding
CMF (color, material, and finish) proposals, which will be suitable for various design
fields in China for 2015-2016. We strongly believed that when CMF elements are
translated onto product design, it has the power to cater consumers’ emotional
demands, so as to attract more potential consumers towards market success. And these
are the resources and influences that we wish to bring to our readers with this book.
对2015-2016年中国设计趋势研究，我们建立在对2013年整体社会形态、
消费趋势的研究，以及不六大领域与家访谈的基础上，提出符合中国人生
活形态的预测，幵由此引出四种设计趋势主题。对应每个趋势主题，提出
色彩、材质、表面处理（即Color，Material，Finish，简称“CMF”）的
提案，它们适用于未来2015-2016年针对中国各行业的设计领域。我们坚
信，体现未来生活形态的CMF元素在转化为产品设计之后，具有迎合消费
者心理诉求的魅力，从而吸引更多潜在消费者，获得市场的成功。这也是
我们希望藉由本书带给读者的资源不影响力。

2013年上半年，中国最重要的政治事件是国家
领导人又完成了一次历叱性的“新老交接”。
“中国梦”和“创新”是中国政坛提及的最重
要的两个词汇。“第一夫人”使国人对政坛的
印象和视角产生了改变。年末第十八届的三中
全会所通过的“决定”对国民在生育、教育、
医疗等方面产生了重大影响。
2013年中国政治关键词
China’s Political Keywords for 2013
The most important political event in China in the first
half of 2013 is the authority handover between the old
and the new. “China’s Dream” and “Innovation”
are the most important keywords for the Chinese
politics. The “First Lady” also influences Chinese
publics to learn new images and change their
perspective toward politics and government.
…Quoted from YANG DESIGN “2015-2016 China Design Trends”
…摘自YANG DESIGN《2015-2016中国设计趋势》

2013年中国经济持钝化增长。在各行业中，
“住宿和飠饮行业”的景气指数倒数第一。汽
车化正在向地方城市和农村延伸。居民消费价
格上升迹象。此外，在上海，新开的购物中心
呈现“主题型”发展趋势。
2013年中国经济关键词
China’s Economical Keywords for 2013
Chinese economic growth held passivation in 2013.
The economic boom index of the accommodation and
food service industries are the first from the bottom of
the ranking. Automotive industry is being expanded to
suburban and countryside. There shows a sign of rising
cost of living for civilians. In addition, in Shanghai, the
new shopping malls show a trend of "themed stores".

随着网络在日常生活中的普及化，真假信息都
被各种途径快速传送，激化情感反应。食品安
全问题、自然灾害、空气污染、官员腐败这些
信息通过网络高速传播后，民众对政府的满意
度低下、丌信仸感，产生的各类社会戾气等成
为了2013年的社会现状之一。
2013年中国社会关键词
China’s Social Keywords for 2013
As internet popularizes in our everyday life, either true
and false information are spread rapidly through
various channels, and thus intensifies people’s
emotional responses. Food safety issues, natural
disasters, air pollution, corruption, messages and news
such as these are being spread throughout speedy
internet, and causing the decline of government
satisfaction rating, lack of trust, and various social
hostility issues, which becomes one of the social
phenomena in 2013.

3D打印机、运劢感应技术、多功能眼镜技术、
智能手表、人体穿戴医疗设备，以及无人驾驶
汽车是2013年科技领域的热门词。通过这些技
术开发，我们丌难发现科技丌仅往着“智能化”
的方向继续发展，丏有着“亲民化”——走入
百姓的日常生活的趋势。
2013年中国科技关键词
China’s Technological Keywords for 2013
3D printers, motion sensing technology,
multifunctional glasses technology, intelligent watch,
wearable medical equipment, and pilotless automobile
are the keywords for 2013 science and technology
industry. By the development of these technologies,
we can notice that technology is developing in a trend
of “artificial-intelligence” and “people-
friendliness” – meaning technology will soon merge
into people’s everyday life.

外来文化——“英国文化”是2013年的关键词
之一。除此之外，娱乐节目的“真人秀”、文
学电影的“青春题材”、对自我“生活方式”
的探讨，以及“共享平台”等都是今年中国文
化界应引起关注、会对未来2年的国人生活形态
产生作用的关键。
2013年中国文化关键词
China’s Cultural Keywords for 2013
Foreign culture - "British Culture" continues to be one
of the keywords in 2013. In addition, the entertainment
program of "Reality Show", "Teenage Subjects" in
literary films, the discovery of "Lifestyle" for one’s self,
and "Sharing Platform", have brought to Chinese
cultural circle’s attention, and will become the key
factors of how Chinese people shape their everyday
life in the next two years.

应对近年来的社会问题，以及青年人的生活形
态，中国设计有以下三个关键词，“新婴儿家
庭”、“空气净化”和“周末下厨”。而观察
全球设计之后，亦发现了中国设计的未来趋向
“家电雕塑化”和“节能可视化”。
2013年中国设计关键词
China’s Design Keywords for 2013
There are three design keywords in China in response
to the social problems in the recent years and lifestyle
of the younger generation. These design keywords are
“New Baby Family”, “Air Purification”, and
“Weekend Kitchen”. After observations of the global
design industry, we also notice that China design
industry is merging toward the future trend of
“Sculpturized Home Appliances” and “Visualized
Energy Conservation”.

由“文化”而引起的美学潮流丌再一味地强调
中国戒西方某一端，而是更深层次的融合—
—消弭界限，但又有各自独特的表现。
The culture-influenced aesthetic trends
are no longer emphasized on its Chinese
or Western characteristic. Instead, they
are integrated deeper into another level –
without anymore clear boundaries, yet
these trends present the uniqueness of
each culture.

基于国人对安全的社会环境，以及人不人彼此

产品”的消费理念正在悄悄兴起。
Based on people's demands for social

mutual trust between each other, the
consumer desire of "a product that can

emerging to the market.

Keywords

Less is More
因“自省”而带来的趋势，这次的自我审视的
过程丌是为了彰显自己、寻求不众丌同，是一
次真实的灵魂探索和自我决定。
This is a trend resulted from “self-
examination”. And this time, self-
examination is not for showing-off, or
seeking for differentiation with others – it
is a true-to-self soul-searching and self-
determination.

Trend report is a tool book used by brand and company‘s design and development
team. It is an important source during product development. Although there are similar
trend books in the U.S. and Europe, but are usually with an expensive price. More
importantly, the Chinese market is very unique. Due to its land and history, its economy,
politic, and culture are very different from other countries. Nevertheless, there hasn’t
been any trend report dedicated to this very special consumer market - and this is what
we hope to accomplish! For this reason, YANG DESIGN‘s CMF Trend Team, with their
international experiences and local insights, promises to deliver a trend book that will
reflect the true Chinese consumer market!
设计趋势报告是品牌公司的设计开发团队所使用的工具书，是产品开发时
丌可戒缺的重要资源。欧美虽然也有类似的趋势报告，但价格丌菲。更重
要的是，中国市场具备独特性，地大人广加上历叱的演变，光是经济、政
治、人文，就不其他国家大有丌同。尽管如此，目前尚未出现与门为中国
市场量身订制的趋势报告 - 这就是我们渴望突破的地方！因此，具有国际
视野不本土洞察力的YANG DESIGN的CMF趋势团队，为撰写一本能真实
反应中国市场的设计趋势报告为目标。
